We put out our photos so Santa could see how good we've been this year {aren't the frames great? they were made for the boys by Alan's mum}
We made these hilarious gooey marshmallow snowmen and put them on a candy cane sled. I think they took the hill too fast... looks like they're about to go flying off, doesn't it? {that's a calendar photo of a Vancouver ski-slope in the background!}
Our local firehall sends Santa around the neighbourhood just when it gets dark on Christmas Eve {checking one last time who's on the naughty and nice lists} We look forward to it every year!
Pugh boys wishing Santa a Merry Christmas, and saying thanks for the candy canes
My parents always come over on Christmas Eve for snacks and a visit and carol singing. They gave the boys their presents and Dylan was sooo excited to get a microscope! He gave Grandma the happiest hug.
Me, opening up the traditional Christmas Eve gift of pajamas from my dad
Alan and I bought new pjs for the boys {the tradition continues}- they're wearing them here as they sit on Grandpa's lap
Sitting by the Christmas tree, looking adorable in new Christmas pajamas.
Stockings hung by the chimney with care {I made those years ago... who knew how great they'd look with our freshly painted living room and fireplace?!}
Our Christmas tree, and all the gifts under it once Santa had been!
It was a great night, but it was a crazy December what with the renos and flu bug, and we were so not ready for the 24th when it arrived. We were up until 1 a.m. wrapping presents! Never again...
Christmas morning photos coming soon! Until then, tell me about your Christmas Eve?
Beautiful Christmas Tree...LOVE your stockings and your boys look soo sweet in their XMAS PJ's !
